Just don’t say the words “under God” and stop being a drama queen!

The original 1892 wording worked for my grandparents.

I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

My parents had to learn the 1924 version.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

That's also how I learned it in 1952. When I went back to school in September 1954 we had to add the new words because someone named Eisenhower said so.

Now I use the version I learned in Grade K because I want to. No drama involved.
